Let me ask this question, in light of much of the advice above:
What is the best way for me to convey this new sense of forgiveness and compassion . . . with words or with some kind of action? AOSs? Notes? Should I be moving more TOWARD her, or is that "pressuring/pursuing" and to be avoided?
Even if I concede much of the above, I'm at a loss as to the best way to CONVEY it. Because I feel like I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't as far as making any attempt to close the "distance" gap between us. If I smother her with words or even Acts of Service, she will see it as "pressure" and "expectations," and if I DON'T, she will see me as pulling away and not loving her.
